Aya 97
97
وَاقتَرَبَ الوَعدُ الحَقُّ فَإِذا هِيَ شاخِصَةٌ أَبصارُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يا وَيلَنا قَد كُنّا في غَفلَةٍ مِن هٰذا بَل كُنّا ظالِمينَ

(Muntakhab)

And the promised Event approaches, there and then shall the infidels' eyes be wide open gazing fixedly in horror and they express their thoughts in words, thus: "Woe betide us ", they shall say, "we were not only oblivious of this event but We were also wrongful of actions".
